Last week's column was basically a rant about things that bothered me about Ubuntu's GNOME/Linux combination. Besides the usual 'I do not experience the problems you have, so you must be an anti-GNOME troll!' and of the course the ever-present 'How on earth can you complain about Free software!', it did what is was supposed to do: bring problems under developer's direct attention (for instance, Evolution's UI maintainer emailed me, asking for more clarification). Now it's Apple's turn. Here is a list of problems I find the most annoying about Apple's Mac/MacOS.

From what I understand, thats a known issue, along with a parculiar bug in reference to picture distortion, IIRC, the developer of Camino said that it was an issue with the API itself, Apple know about it; so basically all those who rely on that piece of functionality, are at the mercy of Apple.

It happens to me if I bring up a WMV video from Camino into quicktime. Then the redrawing goes haywire and Camino needs to be restarted.
About the screen remnants, I see them a lot too, both in Camino, Safari, Adium and various text editors like Subethaedit. It seems to be app specific and maybe it's simply a buffer clearing that is not being called.

About 4.
I have had this happen before but I have only noticed it running one program: Camino.
It is strange when it happens.. not often either but I have seen it.
Again... only in Camino.
